Ratings and Rankings:
B1G Thoughts:
- Ohio State Buckeyes are good.
- Turns out blowing another team out 59-0 will help your rating. Good jorb, Penn State
- Turns out struggling against a shitty team will hurt your rating. Fuck wisconsin.
- Michigan State is good, despite the complaining coming from their insufferable fans.
- Iowa has been fairly impressive against a less than impressive schedule. We’ll see how they fair against Michigan.
- Maryland unsurprisingly dropped after getting BTFO.
- That loss was both painful and encouraging for Indiana.
- Moving down 11 spots isn’t great, but if you compare the rating, the huge loss wasn’t as detrimental as one might think for UNL.
- Ok, Minnesota, now you’re officially the worst undefeated team in the country.
- Illinois didn’t play. And still lost.
- jNW might be starting their move up. They’re still not good.
- Purdue is really bad. Like, really, really bad.
- rutger
Other Thoughts:
- Auburn is really damn good. It’s almost like Malzahn is a good coach. It’s gonna be funny watching him be successful at, let’s say FSU when the Barners march him out of town for not somehow losing a game.
- I know Cal is fine with where they are, but damn, Sonny Dykes is killing it at SMU.
- Missouri got beat pretty badly against Wyoming, but have been killing it since. Might make the SEC East interesting.
- I hope a number of you caught the Akron Zips vs. UMass slugfest last week. It was a battle of the two worst teams in the country, and that just doesn’t happen very often.
Movement:
As we’ve moved on the movement is going to be less and less. Gone are the days of moving 50+ spots in a single week.
- Cal’s loss to Herm’s Sun Devils moved them back to the mushy middle.
- Kentucky aren’t nearly as bad as their record. They’re gonna beat some SEC teams.
- Virginia Tech is bad. Really bad. Fuente is gonna get got. Maybe not this year, but still, this has been BAAAAAAD.
